Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 468: Burning the Boats — I Am Your Prison!

There's no time to prepare. This world never waits for you to be completely ready before everything begins!

She was accustomed to planning before acting, accustomed to the pattern of gathering information, analyzing problems, and then solving them. But today, that wouldn't work!

There was no opportunity for that anymore.

This was no longer a time when she could justifiably shrink back, act as the strategist, and let others handle the most critical problems.

In reality, Pleasure had always found it impossible to completely corrupt her. The direction of her heart was partly because she was acting—she had no intention of making an enemy of Lu Ce; her enemy was Pleasure.

And on the other hand, it was also because the pressure on her was simply too immense!

Absolutely taut nerves brought terrifying focus, making her someone constantly dancing on the edge of a blade.

The more focused she was, the less likely she was to fall.

She needed to face the strongest being she had ever encountered—"Sin"—fight him, and survive under his hand, not die.

She needed to resist being completely forced into assimilation under Pleasure's influence, to constantly control her own heart, not to be carried away by power.Furthermore, there was Sun nearby. Under normal circumstances, his attacks were lethal moves that could kill her.

His attacks were also unpredictable. However, his ability to absorb divine power was actually beneficial to her.

Weakening Pleasure's divine power—this really came at the perfect time.

Clearly, with her power weakened, Pleasure's mind began to grow somewhat chaotic, her temptation over her diminished, and she was starting to panic too.

Really, Sun was practically helping!

The Sun before her briefly fought against Jealousy, giving her a few moments of breathing space to examine herself.

Ever since Pleasure chose her to be this vessel, she knew she was "important."

"Sin" had already done the most he could. He said he couldn't help directly, but starting from the assimilation and the face-changing, he had already done a great deal.

Drawing Pleasure into the game, making it impossible for her to casually escape the vessel and leave this game...

Including the reminder earlier, even taking out an hourglass, reminding her of her life's countdown.

For him to maintain autonomy and rationality even in that masked form must have been very difficult, right?

But if she really messed up this time, this challenge against the "God" might truly be impossible.

Moreover, this clearly... should also be a huge opportunity for herself!

She forced her eyes away from the direction of the kicked hourglass.

When she turned back again, the armor on Sun's exterior was almost shattered by "Sin"!

Overload plus imitating Pleasure's divine power—Lu Ce at this moment was much stronger than in his normal state. It was quite impressive that Sun had held out for so long.

Coincidentally, Sun had just kicked that hourglass away.

Sun, well done!

She wouldn't look at her own life anymore!

For the first time, she abandoned any thought of using the Exit Coin, choosing to truly fight with everything she had.

It was time to risk her life. If she succeeded, she succeeded; if not...

"Give me your power, now!"

"I know what to do now!"

Golden light erupted from her eyes as if she had suddenly become a different person. Her entire body shot out like lightning, charging toward Lu Ce's direction.

Pleasure seemed not to have reacted in that instant either, directly handing over most of the control to this woman.

What did she mean, 'know what to do'? It seemed like Pleasure herself didn't know yet.

But since Pleasure herself didn't know what to do either, for now, she let her have her way, temporarily sensing the flow of energy, trying as much as possible not to be too affected.

She also wanted to find out what kind of "method" this woman was talking about.

In an instant, Xie Antong's figure was like a swimming dragon. After the long period of high-intensity "practical combat training," she was already very clear about how this power should be applied.

That fluidity was like using her own arm, without the slightest hesitation. She traced an arc through the air and charged toward the Jealousy opposite her.

Incidentally, she also knocked Sun flying through the air.

At the moment of impact, she could still feel that the Pleasure power on "herself" seemed to have been absorbed somewhat.

Good!

Such a distance was covered in the blink of an eye for them. Xie Antong quickly arrived right before Lu Ce.

"What, so impatient?"

Jealousy laughed as he spoke, watching this suicidal behavior of daring to fight him in close combat. He wasn't going to go easy.

The golden giant axe in his hand instantly whipped up a whirlwind, swinging once again.

However, Xie Antong's movement this time was clearly a bit unusual.

The moment Lu Ce swung his axe, she closed in instead, pressing right up against him!

An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous.

Experts who often used weapons knew that the greatest advantage of a long weapon was its attack range. But once an opponent entered within the range of one's own swing, the original length became a hindrance!

Lu Ce was in a similar state now. Xie Antong's body was almost completely pressed against him.

This made it difficult for him to bring his axe down; the distance was a bit too close.

Their faces were almost touching. Lu Ce could even feel the sound of her breathing. The All-Seeing Eye could clearly see every pore and fine texture on the pink face before him.

This made Jealousy pause slightly in surprise.

But the next second, Xie Antong curled her lips into a strange smile, her body folding violently as she leaned backward, kicking upward with one foot toward the sky!

Boom!

A kick infused with Pleasure's divine power slammed fiercely into Jealousy's neck, sending him flying with the impact.

"You said, whose time is running out?"

Lu Ce naturally had top-tier resistance to damage. Though caught off guard, he still twisted his body in mid-air, gripping his axe and readying himself to re-enter combat.

"Protect me. What comes next is the key."

Seeing that her strike had succeeded, Xie Antong immediately began to bluff Pleasure.

There was no time to explain. The two instantly entered the most intense close-quarters combat, a fight to the death!

In this close-quarters brawl, Xie Antong used every skill she had, starting to trade injury for injury.

In almost a few breaths, blood began to fly. She seemed to have suddenly gone berserk, not caring for her life, but similarly, it did achieve some effect.

However, to avoid those excessively violent fatal injuries, Pleasure's divine power had to burst forth from time to time. Her power was draining rapidly!

"...Are you sure this will work? What exactly is your method?"

"Heh." Xie Antong, her eyes bloodshot with killing intent, now had madness gradually flashing in her eyes.

This was her true goal.

The final moment was approaching. To maximize her chances of success,

she needed to consume as much of Pleasure's original power as possible before Pleasure could react!

"My method is."

"I am your prison!"

Pleasure: ?
